OMG I HAVE JUST SEEN A MOAI IN FFXII
Now, as some FF hardcores should know, there have been numerous appearances in FF of the strange head statues on Easter Island. I have reason to believe that there is one included in a FFXII picture that I am sure every one of you has seen.
So let's cut to the chase. Generic picture of Fran:

See it yet? No? Let's zoom in a bit.

Discuss.
I still don't see this one, could you circle it in paint or something?
I think I see what you're talking about, but I don't think that's a Moai reference, more likely an accident.
You just don't have the sight.
Yeah, that's what I saw. I don't think it's a Moai reference. It's a good observation, but the other Final Fantasy Moai references are not hidden in character details or anything like this.
But this one IS
It's too coincidental looking to say.
SILENCE
I think its just an ear, theres nothing there thats intresting....
I have a theory that this is somehow connected to a series of unexplained murders in south dakota, a mysterious videotape and a bag of onion rings.
edit: or Should I say, Onion RINGs
It looks more like the mask from scream than it does a Moai.
It kinda does....Quote:

You seem to care about the disagreers right there.
Im proabaly gonna get killed if i ask this but...wat is moai??
They're those rocks on Easter Island, I think. Big stone heads.
Yep Old Manus is right on this one...
:cool:
I know about the FFVIII one (ufo carrying it away) but where are the stutues featured in the other final fantasys? I havnt really noticed....

- The "moai" in FFIV is actually based on the supposed human face photographed on the surface of Mars in 1976. It kind of makes sense since it's on the moon and all.
- In FFV, it's on the ocean floor, and it actually looks like the skull from a prehistoric human. If it is a moai, it certainly has an uncharacteristic creepy grin.
- In Seiken Densetsu 2, it's underwater again, but since there's no submarine in this game, you can see it from the air. It's especially hard to spot here since it amounts to a mere irregularity in the Mode 7 pixellation of the world map.
- FFVII was the first instance of the faces actually looking like moai. There are moai in the background of the chocobo racetrack, and there's also a large one cleverly hidden in the background of one of the Great Glacier areas.
- In FFVIII, there's a side-quest where you witness a flying saucer abduct various objects. One of them is a moai.
- There's apparently no moai in FFIX, which is strange since it was so big on nostalgia.
Looking at it closely, it might be a cheekbone or something.Quote:

This is old. But re-reading the thread amused me greatly. I have to say, after he drew over it (I wasn't honestly sure what to look for) I can see it without the zoom now. Fran will never be the same again.
Yeah, but it might just be a coincidence. I mean, It looks like an ear. And if there is soppost to be a "face" in every final fantasy... were was it in 9, 10, 10-2, 11? I mean, It might just look like it.
